Constitution clearly says people have right to own guns

I read Gerald Burford's April 19 letter regarding his confusion of our Second Amendment with reasonable question. It appears that Burford has the militia confused with people. The Second Amendment is very clear that the people have the right to bear arms in addition to the "militia."

This may be the reason some folks do not understand what the people meant to the Founders and continue to try to usurp this amendment. Our Founders did not say military, did not say some people, did not say only hunters. The Second Amendment clearly states that people have the right to bear arms. Arms was meant to say weaponry of any type, anything that would provide them with protection.
